More than happy to sort it for november if you guys want,so long as I can give a months notice to the gym owners,it'll be cool.
I'm going out to have a look at Dragonfists new gym sometime in the next two weeks.
I'll take photo's so you can see what the venue looks like.

Soooooooo....Do the people who actually want to play have a date in mind....NOOOOOOOOOO.
As I have previously waxed poetic about ( & possibly whined a tad ) I have had 5 surgeries since late march,3 to repair a sweet heel hook on my left knee & two ( 27th & 29th of last month ) for a tendon infection on my right hand..Even typing this is giving me grief.
I've made no secret of the cost involved to myself,or of the damage to my professional relationship with the gym owners of guaranteeing money for an event that I doubt will ever happen.
Regardless,this escapade will cost me $1500 dollars as that was the sum offerred,& honestly...for what.
The only people that I can guarantee will show are two of my classmates,& 1500 to spar two guys that I can spar any Monday night is crazy.

Everyone was so fucking keen until it became a reality

**** THE INTERNET.

I'll check back in a week,but I doubt anything has changed.I should get automatic life membership to Bullshido.
Talking online to you guys has already cost me shitloads

Oh & Great Height & Gregaquaman,no offense intended,you guys are just as keen for this to happen as I am.
When I started planning this I doubted that I'd ever be able to even train the chun again.( & that was even before my right hand crapped itself )
This was gonna be my see ya to the the M.A's.
A lifestyle I have tried my best to live since my first Judo class at 12 years old.
This T.D was all about me giving something back to a life I love,& can no longer do at the level I'm used to.
But Hey Hey,I'm back doing Boxing classes & lifting so anything's possible.

Woah, hang on. It's going to cost you $1500? Man, that's retarded. I don't spend that on any recreational activity, let alone one I can, as you say, do at the gym with some friends. Seriously, $1500 would make me pissed off, but it wouldn't be at the internet.

Just name the park brother,we'll still probably be the only one's there.
Are you gonna cover the liabilty & legal issues of some kung fu sook that's never been leg kicked before ?
That's what the $1500 is for,to work under someone else's insurance.
Not pissed at such an amorphous entity as the internet,but if you disregard the cost of this TD, which,as I said, everyone was all over until it looked like we actually had to put wraps on.
I'm also out of pocket from the TD Syberia was trying to plan.Not much,around 2 grand by the weeks end,with airfares etc..

Can't blame her ( even though nothing was sorted ) as the entire G.C was flooded.

So I figured I wouldn't play unless I could guarantee the venue,etc ( I mean,**** me,it's what I do for a living ).

So I did & ?

Seriously dude,I've got the camera & vid edit guys chomping at the bit,wanna hook up & do this **** in da park....

I'm down to go out in style....& I've got freaky good lawyers,so a TD in a park won't bother me at all.
If we do it around my area,even better as we won't have to worry about legal interference.
The cops in Redfern have got better things to do.

Rikko If you are willing to spend that sort of money. Fly your arse up to arlie the next one we have here. It will go for a whole weekend and if it was anything like the last one will be completely off the hook.

Plus whitsundays.

Yep,screw it I'm there.
Let me know when you've got one sorted feb onwards.
I'll use the time to heal & train up,as the sydney TD was basically for you guys,as I'm still buckled.
Even the missus is telling me I'm flogging a dead taliban donkey bomb.
